Treehouse
To dream of a treehouse represents feelings about a waking life situation or relationship that safely allows you to have feelings of nostalgia, freedom, escape, or independence that ignores your normal life perspective. Playing with an idea or perspective in life that will never be adult or realistic.
Positively, dreaming about a treehouse may represent a refuge from the complexities of daily life, providing comfort, solace, or a special place for personal thoughts, creativity, or memories. A period of self-discovery, learning, personal development, or a conscious choice to isolate one's thoughts or emotions from outside influences. Cherished childhood memories or aspirations, an inventive spirit, or a unique perspective on life.
Negatively, dreaming of a treehouse may represent avoidance or escapism, where you're avoiding reality, responsibilities, problems, or conflicts in your waking life. A reluctance to face reality or a tendency to isolate yourself from others when you should be addressing important issues. Consider whether you are using the treehouse as a means to avoid necessary confrontations or responsibilities. Never being allowed to think of a situation or relationship in a realistic way while enjoying a moment of playing with it in your mind. Enjoying a moment of unrealistic emotional respite while thinking of a secure relationship with an ex-partner during a moment of trouble in a new relationship.
Dreams of treehouses are common to people thinking or communicating with former love interests. This may reveal feelings of playing with forbidden emotions in a "safe" space, separate from your real-life obligations.
Example: A teenage girl dreamed of sitting on the front porch of her ex-boyfriend's treehouse while they sat together in silence enjoying each other's company. In waking life, she missed her ex, but was currently experiencing frustrations while being involved in a current relationship. In this case, the ex-boyfriend's treehouse may have reflected her state of mind allowing her to feel comforted by her past relationship while ignoring the complexities or frustrations of her current one. Thinking about her ex-boyfriend became a mental and emotional retreat where she could reconnect with the positive feelings she used to have, providing a temporary escape from her present relationship challenges. The treehouse symbolized a nostalgic space where the past relationship was idealized, offering emotional solace and a sense of freedom from her current dissatisfaction.
Example 2: A young woman dreamed of looking out a window across a lake to see a tree with a big treehouse on it. In waking life, she was thinking about summertime life at the lake being left behind as school started. The lake was a place where she and her friends hung out every summer. In this case, the treehouse may have reflected her desire to escape from the responsibilities of school and her day-to-day life, longing for the carefree and fun-filled days she enjoyed at the lake with her friends. It represented a form of escapism and nostalgia for a simpler and more enjoyable time in her life.
Example 3: A man dreamed of being in a treehouse and seeing a former love interest in a black bikini. She chased her. In waking life, the former love interest had sent him a text on his cellphone. They were both now happily married to other people. In this case, the treehouse may have reflected his subconscious desire to escape from the realities of his current life and indulge in romantic fantasies about his former love interest. It symbolized a mental and emotional retreat into the past, away from the commitments and responsibilities of his current relationships.
